Be it known that 1,.SAMUEL L IIALL, of West Salem, in the county of Ira Crossc, and State of Wisconsin have invented certain new and useful "Improvements in Chorus and Butter-Workers; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being bad to the accompanying drawparts wherever they occur. A

To enable others skilled in the art to construct and use my invention, I will proceed to describe it.

ings, making part of this specification, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, like letters indicating like My invention relates to churns, and consists in the construction of novel machine for keeping thefcream' V at any desired temperature while being churned, and for ,drawingptf the-buttermilk after the butter s gathered, as well as for'workingthe butter in the churn, and washing it, die. I t i In the drawings- 4 Figure 1 is a perspective view of my machine, with a portion of the t'ramebroken away, and

Figure 2 is a transverse vertical section ofaporticn of fig. 1, detached. v In constructing my machine, I make a strong' frame, A, and suspend, in open bearings, a, attached to upper sides, a frame, B, by means of journals 6, as shown in 'fig. 1.

'.llie.fr'ame Bconsists of a metallic cross-piece, G, with two vertical pieces D attached, as shown in figal,

of wood. To these vertical pieces D,'I attach a galvanised iron churn, E, made octagonal, or any-other desired shape, and to the sa me pieces a similarly-shaped vessel, F, sufliciently large to allow the churn E bes w i it, and leave an'open'space between them for the introduction of warm water as shown in figs. 1 and 2. I provide the interior vessel or churn E, at the centre of its bottom, with a hole, c, and from it'extend a tube, 6, to and through the bottom of the exterior vcssel-F,= and insert in its end a plug, e, and in like manner-I provide the exterior vessel F with an opening, q, having a plug, f, all asshow'n clearly in fig. 2.

I Within the churn E, I place a vertical dasher, G, having a series of curved heaters p along its sides, and with a pin, h, in its lower end to enter the hole 0, and grooved at i so as to allow the water or but e flow through it'when theplug e is removed; also w th a shaft, 9, rigidly attached to its upper end, and placed inits hearings in the cross-piece C, by passingiaterally through a slot, is, and held in place by a T-shaped block I."- To the upper end of the shaft 9, I attach a'double'lever'or brake, H, 'by a common nut,n, with handles .operate it and below the crossbar Q, I key to the same shaft g, a bevel-pinion, 'I, which gears int wheel, J, mounted onan ar 1n,K rigidly connected to and cxten'ding at right angles with the cross-bar I p I The bevel-wheel J, I operate with a winch, L, as clearly shown in fig.

The churn-E, I providewith covers M, which can be removed when desired. In the drawing, fig. 1, only one of the covers is shown, the other being off.

In the vertical side-piece D, to which the vessels E and Fare attached, I place a small thermometer, so asto sec at a glance the temperature, and on the frame A, a: button or other convenient device 0., for-holding the frame' B in place, and so as to prevent it from swinging in'it's bearings unless desired- I In operating my machine, I first place the cream in'th'e churn E, and put on the covers M, then pour water of any desired temperature within .the vesselF, about the churn E. The temperature of the whole can be readilyseen by means of; the thermbmeter n, and regulated accordingly. Then turn the winch I, which, through the 'bevel-wheelJ and bevel-pinion I, will cause the dasher G to-T-revolve, and bymeans-of the heaters s thoroughly agitate the cream. 7 As' soon as the butter has come, the winch L, I remove, and put on thebrake H, and by moving it back and vforward gather and .work the butter. At any time dosired, by'turnihg' the button 0, the 'low erends of the vessels E and'F can be swung out, and the plugs'f and e taken out, and the water and butteb a milk be drawn ofl'. After the buttermilk is thus drawn oh, the butter can be still furthcr worked and washed if desired, before being removed from thechurn. In order to have free access to. the interior of the churn,

, the daeher'G can be easily taken out by removing theT-shapedblock l, and passing the shaft 9 laterally through the slot k. In this way I am able to construct a cheap and convenient churn, so arranged that the facility.

grooved pin 7;, bevel pinion I, and brake H, ell constructed and arrange some cream when churned can be kept at any desired temperature, and the butter gathered and worked with ease and Having thus described my intention 1, whet I claim, is-

1. The metal chum E, with the exterior vessel F, both 'attechedtothe frsms B, suspended-in the frame A,

' provided with the ioeking-device 0, all constructed and arranged to'operste substantialiy'us herein described.

.and for the purpose set forth.- I v evel-wheel J and winch L, the dasher G, with the curved heaters 1), end I 2. 'In bombiuetion with the b I d to operate substantially as herein described and for the purpose set forth. v SAMUEL L. HALL.
